Hello I hope you are doing well. I would like to propose a partnership focused on AI platforms such as AfterQuery: https://www.afterquery.com/ My idea is for us to collaborate on opportunities available through these platforms and build a sustainable source of income together. Based on my experience and previous results, I am confident in my ability to generate at most $12,000 per month through this type of work, provided we have the right setup and opportunities. I believe we are entering a period of significant growth in artificial intelligence, and the right partnership can create opportunities that would be difficult to achieve individually. I am not simply looking for a short-term arrangement. I would like to establish a mutually beneficial, long-term professional relationship built on trust, transparency, and shared success. If this sounds interesting to you, I would be happy to discuss the details and explain how we could get started. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and hopefully exploring this opportunity together. Best regards,

I am currently looking for a partner to help me. It would be especially great if you were American. Of course, I will pay you whatever you ask if you help me. Telegram ID: @Senior730727

Did the council already announced the theme? Something around music?

Congrats first to Knock, Blacktop, Nimiq kids and PROOF. You shipped, and people use what you built. Now the honest part: I'm disappointed. Partly because stakes.day didn't win, sure. You enter a competition to win. But the bigger part is how this cycle was run, and what I learned about building on Nimiq along the way. So here it is, straight. What's on us: the Council said users decided a lot, with full points at 25+. We had 22 wallets transact with Stakes, and Nimiq Pay sends from changing addresses, so the number of real people is likely lower. We missed that bar. I don't argue with it. What wasn't on us: - The dates kept moving. Cycle 2 was first published as 10 Aug to 7 Sep and ran 24 Aug to 18 Sep. Cycle 3 was set for 14 Sep, then 7 Oct, now 14 Oct. Results were due 2 Oct and came out 8 Oct. - The scoring changed mid-cycle. The final rubric went up on 3 Sep, ten days in. Design dropped from 25 points to 10 and a new 25-point Nimiq category appeared. That's a moving target. - The prize split changed at the end. The rules page said $10k, $5k and $2k, and it still does. Then first place became $7k so a fourth app could be paid. I'm happy for everyone who got paid, but a published prize should stay the published prize. - There was no freeze. Submissions closed on 18 Sep, but apps are judged live and nothing says which version counts. Some apps kept shipping all through the judging weeks. We froze ours a week before the deadline, because we read "deadline" as a deadline. - 15 points ride on "unique users", and nowhere does it say how a user is counted. - Open source, but only at the door. Entries had to be public repos under the MIT license, and Nimiq kids passed that check on 18 Sep. Today its repo shows "page not found", and I don't know when or why. Nothing in the rules forbids it, and I've made the Stakes code private too now that we're out. But a prize-winning app whose code nobody can read anymore doesn't sit right with me. The platform:

1 : Respect the submission deadline without exceptions: People who haven't submitted a complete application by the deadline... too bad. 2: Progress tracking dashboard or visual support listing apps with a checkbox or similar indicator showing that an app has been reviewed and scored. 3: Review the MIT license which seems abusive: We ask participants to support and continue development without having certain rights over their creation. The rules should be: winners commit to releasing their app under MIT license. That way, losers retain some control — perhaps requiring them to place their app under AGPL-3.0 license. 4: At the end of the competition, release a ranking/list according to scores, while still being explicit about it (basically, be transparent). There's nothing worse than losing in ignorance 😉
